The Shivaji Park police have registered a case against two men who allegedly extorted Rs 1.5 lakh from a Dadar based doctor. The duo posed as officials with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and threatened to ‘take action’ against him for ‘illegal renovation’ at his house in order to extort the amount from him.

According to police sources, the victim stays on the Ranade Road in Dadar (West) and has a clinic in Mahim. The police said that he was at his clinic when he received a call from his maid on the afternoon of April 20. When he answered it, a man spoke to him from the other end, saying that he was a BMC official.
